Gonzalo Higuiin: Juventi kicked me out for Ronaldo

Gonzalo Higuiin wants everything. And now. “Pipita” is hungry for victory, but cannot wait.

And during the interview with Marco Paso, he claims he wants to win immediately. <

Starting with Sunday's derby, against Inter.

In “Gazetta dello Sport” a full version of the long conversation with the Argentina champion can be found. Here are some extracts of what the assailant has declared.

Higuwin, the Reds management has said that the deadline to return to winning trophys is three years...

I'm here now and I'm thinking about winning this year, I can't wait three years. We must be aware that we can win something this season, because Milan has the means to do this. And if we don't, we'll see another Milan. We have to make fans realize we're able for a good season.

Word of leadership. You've had a triumphal entry into Milan's dressing room...

A beautiful approach is true. I'm only sorry about the rankings, because we deserve to be higher. Otherwise, I feel at a very good time in my life, both mentally and professionally. I feel reborn. Gattuso has conveyed his love of football.

Your past is Juventi. Can we say that the situation has taken a bad turn since the end of the Italian Cup?

Within myself, I felt that day. Maybe I knew something was broken. And then you took Ronaldo. The decision to leave “The Old Lady” was not mine. I gave everything to Juvenus, we won a few titles after which Cristiano came. The club wanted to do a quality dance. The leaders told me that I could not stay and that they were trying to find a solution. Milan was the best solution.

Do you have feelings of revenge against Juvenus' club?

No, not to anyone. Rather, I have a feeling of love because I have been treated very well there. My friends and fans have given me great love. But I didn't ask to leave. In essence, everyone said that, they pulled me out (I was thrown out). Even in Milan, I immediately had a deep love for myself, and I was convinced.

Let's talk about Inter, now. On the other side of the hole will be Icard, on Sunday's derby...

Actually, we're not playing tennis here, but football. Eleven against eleven, no one should be placed alone in the spotlight. Teams win, not players. However, he has done well for several years, scored many goals, is young, and has room for growth. Let's keep this up. I wish him the best.

Did you want to get something from him?

The ability to strike head and time in the area is a killer.

In pure theory, could it be yours, a compatible duet of attackers

I would say yes, because it's not my problem to play with another attacker. In my career I've had a lot of attackers beside me. I adapt to everything, just like others have to adapt to me.

Do you have relationships outside the field? Do you speak?

No, we don't talk. /Telesport)
